It all began pretty simple. I thought I could do some research on social marketing to be an informed participant. I get it. I'm learning and adding bits and pieces as I go.
Facebook is probably where I feel safest, LinkedIn is next and I even have a draft for the Nimble Squidoo page where there will be some neat things you can even wear...more on that another time. Twitter is a new addiction for me too!
I was deep in cyber-space following link after link; following what appealed to me. So the proverbial water was begining to rise. It was warm and quite nice really, I was enjoying the new waters as I surfed and picked up tidbits all over. And then it happened. No one told me there would be some sort of tidal wave, an under current coming to the surface...and then I hit the white water.
Where's my "stuff" in relation to everything I learned today? How do I do this? How do I do that? Oh, I really like that! Oh dear, I'm really behind, where do I start? These people are going to links and am I really wanting them to see what I've got (and not) so far?
Whiz, whril, sputter, sphlat!
And then I stopped. I recalled a quote from someone I can 't remember now that said "The will must outdo the skill" and that set me back on track. So I began to ask questions and as the answers trickle in I will improve what I see fit, without the panic. I believe those who are giving of their expertise are the best associates to have. No one needs to be taken advantage of but a little give can go a long way. I encourage constructive criticism.
I love my will to learn and that is as valuable as a lifeboat in the river ride of the internet.
